Case Studies

Oil & Gas Engineering - Actuator Closure Time Analysis

Challenge

During field tests at a terminal, a valve failed to meet the standard closure time of 60 seconds. The actuator control system required modification to comply with the standard.

The actuator control system consisted of a hydraulic power unit, accumulator racks and a separate valve control panel. The HPU, accumulation and control panel were all located remotely from the valve and actuator. The control panel was connected to the actuator via 3/4" supply and return tubing.

Solution

Oil & Gas Engineering - Product Supply – PI Data Analysis

Challenge

Our client in the Southern North Sea has a number of NUIs (Normally Unmanned Installations) across three fields which required daily monitoring for faults, maximising production and minimising maintenance costs.

Solution

Oil & Gas Service - Technician Supply

To accurately tackle and resolve a number of Electrical and Hydraulic faults across the client’s platforms in Western Africa. 3sun Group’s technicians were responsible for ongoing fault finding, repairs and routine maintenance on the client’s assets.

In addition, the manufacture, installation and integration of new hydraulic systems was required.

Solution

3sun Group performed surveys to determine the actions needed to be taken on the platform for specific modifications. The surveys also provided information for the design and manufacture of new hydraulic systems.

Oil & Gas Subsea - Design and Supply of Subsea Control System

Challenge

To provide the client with five Subsea Control Modules (SCM) that were compatible with two different trees vendors. The subsea development consisted of two drill centers with one water injection (WI) and one production trees at each location.

The controls communications had to co-exist in the umbilical with Electric Submersible Pump (ESP) power and controls and there would not be an early opportunity to perform cross talk tests.

Oil & Gas Topside - Product Supply – SCAPA Well Control Panels

Challenge

The existing SCAPA well control system on the client’s platform had become unreliable; repairs and maintenance were difficult due to spares and replacement components no longer being available. The client chose to replace the old control panels in order to improve operation and maintenance of the SCAPA system
